Many-Body Dispersion
Peng Xu, Melisa Alkan, Mark S. Gordon
Abstract
A broad range of approaches to many-body dispersion are discussed, including empirical approaches with multiple fitted parameters, augmented density functional-based approaches, symmetry adapted perturbation theory, and a supermolecule approach based on coupled cluster theory. Differing definitions of "body" are considered, specifically atom-based vs molecule-based approaches.
